- A type of monitoring visit
- The CRA holds multiple SQVs before a site is selected to join a clinical trial to ensure that the site has the capabilities to join.
- There should be more SQVs held than # of sites in a trial given that not all sites will be accepted into a clinical trial.
- These are either held remotely or on-site depending on when the site was last utilized in a clinical trial in the same indication – as per Vial’s SOP
